My wife Kalyn and I travel frequently. I am writing this from the beautiful town of San Miguel de Allende in Mexico where we have been living the last month. The town is full of colors, sounds, wonderful food, friendly people, colonial style buildings, cobblestone streets, and language – all different from where I live. Here I am continually surrounded by an environment ‘foreign’ to my habitual surroundings back home.

When driving in Mexico, for example, one must let go of their notions of how to drive, who yields when, speed, distances between cars…it is all very different. San Miguel de Allende is a City with a population of 140,000 people. There are accordingly many cars, but in the main part of the City, there are no traffic signals! Yet traffic flows in seemingly magical ways. When driving you must let go of the rules of driving, written and unwritten ones, you have from your home country, otherwise you will not get very far (and you risk pissing off a lot of people). In North America, for example, if you are entering a main street from a small side street, you wait until there is a break in traffic before you proceed. Pull out in front of someone and you are likely to see a finger pointed at you in a not so pleasant way. Not so in San Miguel de Allende. Here you must pull out in front of oncoming cars. They will not stop for you, but will slow down just enough to let you in. If you wait until there are no cars coming to pull out onto the main highway, people get angry because they will have slowed down for you and you didn’t go. You are expected to pull out in front of oncoming cars!

When traveling, your psyche is bombarded by newness. This affects you in profound ways. In Toltec terms, your perception is held by your assemblage point. In simple terms, the assemblage point takes the infinite All That Is, or the Nagual, and holds a position in it that determines your perception. You do not perceive outside of the position held by your assemblage point.  Part of what holds your assemblage point in a certain position is your surroundings. When you change your surroundings, as you do when traveling, you enable your assemblage point to Flow, freeing up your perception. When your assemblage point becomes fluid, you are able to move and live in the Golden Flow of the now moment. The Source that you are (Toltecs refer to your Source or Higher Self as the Dreamer), can move freely through you and into your life. Your creativity is enhanced and your desires are empowered enabling you to manifest what your dreams, hopes and desires. This is an important part of the Law of Attraction, and is a key many miss.

Have you ever wondered why writers often travel and live in different countries? Now you know. Traveling frees up the assemblage point allowing increased perception and creative flow. This is one reason coffee shops are so popular. Getting out of your home and sipping on a cup of coffee frees up your psyche and expands your view of the world.

Several times a year, Kalyn and I take people on transformative Power Journeys to Sacred Sites such as Teotihuacan. We also take people on Golden Flow Dream cruises. Why? Because we have found that traveling is one of the most powerful and quickest ways to transformation.

Travel and Transform your life.

A core focus on the Toltec path is expanding your perception of self and the world around you. People perceive so little of what is. Just beyond the average person’s perception are entire worlds of beauty, energy, and love. Experience follows perception, and if you want your life to transform and experience the wonder and mystery of life, you need to free up and expand your perception.  The first Mastery on the Toltec path is The Mastery of Awareness. As you become more aware, you collapse time and free yourself from the laws of form. Increasing your awareness enables you to perceive, not only different realities, but to perceive the greater Self that you are in magnificent ways. One of the easiest and most enjoyable ways of freeing up your perception is to travel, or simply spend time away from where you live or habitually spend time.

The feeling of uncomfortableness is often an indication of our Source, or what Toltecs call our Dreamer, guiding us to make movement. The beauty of this is that when your Dreamer gives you uncomfortableness or a life challenge, at the same time it gives you the solution to the challenge. The solution lies just beyond the uncomfortableness.

One of don Miguel Ruiz‘s Four Agreements from his book The Four Agreements is “Don’t take things personally.” This too is part of allowing what is and being in The Flow.

I talk a lot about living life in The Flow, that wonderful state of being where you feel fully supported by life, stress free, cherishing every now moment. It is a magnificant way to live. It takes no effort to move into The Flow. You only need to allow it to be.

If it is such a wonderful way to be and live, why are so many people not living in The Flow? One reason is that they have a fundamental misperception about it. They believe that if you are in The Flow you won’t have problems, or life challenges. So, they avoid their challenges thinking that by avoiding them they will be in The Flow. Another thing people do, which is related to this avoidance, is they avoid the feeling of being uncomfortable. They believe that if they are feeling uncomfortable they won’t be in The Flow.

The problem with this avoidance is that it negates allowance. The only way to be in The Flow is to allow. More than this, the solution to the problem or life challenge often lies just beyond the resistance. If you avoid feeling uncomfortable, and don’t allow the problem, the solution will have difficulty coming to you. You have heard the saying, ‘What you resist, persists.’ This is true, and often what happens is that when you avoid problems, not only do they persist, they get bigger.

Feeling uncomfortable is a natural part of growing and expanding. If you want to become stronger physically, for example, you may need to exercise to the point of discomfort. If you want to become a public speaker, moving through the uncomfortableness of getting up in front of a group of people will help you become a skilled speaker. If you have had an accident and need physical therapy, it may be very painful. But, by moving through the pain you heal.

When you are living in The Flow, it doesn’t mean that you are problem free. It doesn’t mean that there are life circumstances that come that may make you feel uncomfortable. However, when you allow the uncomfortableness to be, you remain in The Flow and it moves through you much more quickly than when you resist it. If you simply allow the problem to be, more times than not you will find the solution magically presents itself. The solution is in The Flow.

As you allow and welcome life challenges, discomfort and move through your resistance, sooner than not you will find yourself stress free in a state of free flowing Joy, the problem will be resolved; and you will have grown, and become more of Who you truly are. You then rise up in frequency and know the Intent behind your Dreamer – what it wanted for you. You will have evolved to the next level on the Path of the Ultimate Freedom.

Are You in The Flow?

PS: The Energy of our Teotihuacan Power Journey is coming in strong. We hope to see you there to experience these amazing pyramids and The beautiful town of San Miguel de Allende – Where one becomes Who they are.

The life you desire resides just on the other side of your comfort zone. If you resist your uncomfortableness, guess what happens. What you resist persists and the discomfort only grows bigger. By resisting your uncomfortableness, that which you desire stays perpetually out of your reach.
